Are about yesterday, <br />that time gone by, <br />memories of lovers, <br />broken hearts, those <br />rejected advances, <br /> <br />wrecked promises, and <br />pledges left undone. <br />Tender love lost brings <br />a sigh, a sob, a tear, <br />gloom, and unhappiness. <br /> <br />A sadness relived <br />to haunt, to upset, <br />with reminiscences of <br />stormy angry times <br />and tempers frayed. <br /> <br />Untreated wounds, <br />reopened give cause for <br />anguish, torment, pain, <br />nightmares return to <br />give us troubled nights. <br /> <br />Bad memories not left, <br />or dropped, spoil the life <br />that is now present, <br />the one we should be <br />living in right now. <br /> <br />For true life we only <br />feel this instant, in <br />a flash it moves on, <br />past is now history, <br />future only prophecy. <br /> <br />Each breath we take <br />a different moment, <br />each breath out a <br />new instant of time, <br />for us to experience. <br /> <br />So hear only present time, <br />each dawn’s chorus of song <br />greets a brand new day, <br />that is full of possibilities, <br />we see the truth of life that <br /> <br />yesterday’s bad memories, <br />have gone, so we must forgive; <br />forgiveness dissolves the harm, <br />and removes the hurt places <br />in our heart and feelings. <br /> <br /> <br />05-12-2009<br /><br />Bob Blackwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haunted-memories/
